Spread a layer of the squash in a 2 to 3 quart baking dish, sprinkle on half the cheese cracker crumbs, half the crumbled bacon and half the shredded cheese. Top with another layer of squash, cracker crumbs, bacon and cheese. Bake covered with foil in a preheated 350 oven for 50 to 55 minutes until squash is done.

BUTTERNUT SQUASH AND APPLE CASSEROLE WITH BACON

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400F and grease a 9×13 baking dish with 1 tablespoon melted coconut oil. Set aside.

• Transfer the butternut squash mixture onto the prepared baking dish and spread into an even layer.
• Place in the pre-heated oven to roast just until the butternut squash is fork tender, around 25-30 minutes.
• While the butternut squash mixture is roasting, heat a large frying pan over medium heat and add the bacon.
• Cook, stirring occasionally, until the bacon is cooked through and crispy, approximately 8-10 minutes.
• Transfer the bacon to a small mixing bowl lined with paper towels to absorb excess grease.
• Blot off remaining grease on top and set aside to cool for 5-10 minutes.
• Once cooled, discard the paper towels and add the remaining tablespoon of coconut oil, chopped pecans, honey, cinnamon, and ground cloves.
• Season with salt and black pepper, as desired, and toss to combine.

SUMMER SQUASH CASSEROLE WITH BACON

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Butter a 9x13-inch baking dish.
• Heat 1 tablespoon butter and oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add squash, diced onion, thyme, and garlic. Cook, stirring frequently, until squash is tender, about 5 minutes. Cook, covered, until squash juices are released, about 2 minutes. Uncover and continue to cook until juices evaporate, 3 to 5 minutes more. Drain squash mixture into a bowl.
• Mix remaining butter with crushed crackers, Cheddar cheese, French-fried onions, salt, and pepper. Reserve 1 cup of the mixture; stir the rest into the squash mixture. Add bacon and stir well.
• Mix milk and eggs together in a small bowl and add to the squash mixture. Mix well. Spread into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle reserved portion of the cracker mixture on top of casserole.
• Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, about 25 minutes.

BUTTERNUT, BACON AND APPLE HOTDISH

Steps:

• For the filling: Lay the bacon in a large oven-safe skillet (I like to use a cast-iron pan or braiser) and turn the heat to medium. Cook, flipping once, until crisp on both sides, about 7 minutes total. Remove from the heat and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain and cool slightly.
• Drain half the bacon grease from the skillet, leaving just enough to coat the skillet. Add the onions and turn the heat to medium-high. Saute until soft, about 10 minutes. Add the squash, thyme, some salt, a few turns of pepper and a few pinches of crushed red pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, 10 more minutes. Add the wine and broth. Roughly chop the bacon and add it to the skillet along with the apples. Bring the mixture to a light boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, while you make the biscuits.
• For the biscuits: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl. Add the butter and, using a food processor, pastry cutter or your hands, incorporate the butter until the mixture is the consistency of raw oatmeal. Mix in the cream until the mixture comes together to form a dough. Turn it out onto a floured work surface, pat it out to 3/4-inch thick and then cut out round biscuits, re-rolling scraps as needed.
• Turn off the heat before dotting the top of the skillet with the biscuits. Brush the biscuits with the beaten egg and top with black pepper. Bake until the biscuits are golden brown, cooked through and flaky, about 25 minutes. Remove from oven and serve right from the skillet!

• Spread the cubed butternut squash out into a single layer. Roast in the oven for 30+ minutes until the squash is soft and toasted around the edges.
• Meanwhile, place the skillet over medium heat. Brown the chopped bacon in the skillet. Once crispy, add in the onions and garlic. Sauté for 3 to 5 minutes to soften the onions. Then stir in the chopped pecans, sage, and thyme. Sauté another 1 to 2 minutes, then turn off the heat.
